Barcelona still suffer the effects of their defeat to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday evening, with Diario Sport reporting that Sergino Dest will be on the sideline for the rest of the season.

The defender was substituted for Clement Lenglet at the beginning of the second half due to an injury in his thigh.

Defender is said to have recovered from another injury suffered against Galatasaray in the Europa League competition that sidelined him for a number of matches.

This injury according to reports will keep him out of action for the rest of the season.

Barcelona are second in La Liga table, 15 points behind leaders Real Madrid and level on points with third-placed Sevilla. Atletico Madrid are two points behind, Real Betis six.

Barcelona will play the remaining five games left this season without Sergio Dest.
